The Perron Cheese-making Factory at the end of the 19th Century

Designed and equipped according to the government standards at the time, La vieille fromagerie Perron was founded in 1895 by Adélard Perron. In 1901, there were more than 1,547 artisanal cheese-making factories in Québec. Today, the Perron cheese-making factory is the only remaining representative of these old premises.

The Perron Cheese-making factory was classified as an historical monument of exceptional value in 1989 by the Ministry of Culture, Quebec.
